Japan is considering providing $32 million in additional humanitarian aid for civilians in the Gaza Strip, Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa has said, as the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas drags on. Ednews reports citing The Japan Times.
At a Group of 20 ministerial gathering in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, Kamikawa voiced her "serious concern" about the "critical humanitarian situation" in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian enclave amid Israel's bombardment of the area, Japan's Foreign Ministry said.
Reiterating criticisms of the "terrorist attacks" on Israel by Hamas on Oct. 7 and expressing "deep concern" over recent Israeli military operations in Gaza's Rafah district, Kamikawa demanded all parties "act from a humanitarian viewpoint," the ministry added.
